Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Being from Toronto and never having heard of the Toronto Blessing (lol) I felt like a weenie... he he Here you go folks: Date of origin: January 1994. Place of origin: Toronto Airport Vineyard Church, Toronto, Canada (since renamed the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship). (But I have a hunch the holy spirit has been around a little longer than that!) The Toronto Blessing is a physical phenomenon that manifests itself by a participant engaging in fits of continuous laughter orgutturall utterances such as making animal noises, for varying lengths of time. This laughter and other noise is considered to be, and is believed by many, to be a manifestation of the Holy Spirit and an indication of the blessing of the Holy Spirit being poured out upon the participant. The phenomenon reveals itself mainly in the presence of many people, primarily during a religious service and also continually throughout the preaching of the message during that religious service. The phenomenon may affect a single individual, several individuals or an entire audience. *** Geez if I would've known when I was a kid sitting there suppressing giggles in church that it was really the holy spirit, maybe I could have helped manifest the Toronto Spirit 10 or 15 yrs earlier!!! ha ha ha Gosh we take ourselves too seriously sometimes hmm? peace, bradly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
